SEGD’s August Membership Drive Week Three – Gratitude

Thinking about becoming an SEGD Member? Stay tuned all month long for our August Membership Drive as we celebrate the many facets of SEGD. We are dedicating the entire month to our members; both new and renewing. Each week in August we will introduce a theme that centered around the pillars of SEGD:

Week 1: August 7-13 | Social Connection
Week 2: August 14-20 | EXP
Week 3: August 21-27 | Gratitude
Week 4: August 28-31 | Development

This week, we want to extend our gratitude to all of our long-time supporters. As a nonprofit organization, SEGD thrives on the generous support of our Industry Partners, sponsors, and community allies. Their contributions are not just crucial for the day-to-day operations of SEGD but also for the broader mission we strive to achieve—fostering education, innovation, and excellence in the experience design community. Simply put, we couldn’t do what we do without them.

Thank You to Our Industry Partners!

Our Industry Partners support SEGD events year-round, fueling initiatives that advance both our members’ professional growth and the design industry as a whole. One key event, the Academic Summit, was made possible through the unwavering support of our partners. Thanks to their contributions, we were able to offer this event free of charge, drawing in 300 signups for the virtual summit. It’s through efforts like these that we see the direct impact of sponsorship on creating accessible opportunities for education and collaboration.

In 2023, SEGD launched the 50th Foundation—a significant milestone for our organization. We’re incredibly fortunate to have strong backing from design firms and long standing Industry Partners who have shown their commitment to our mission. Their support empowers us to continue innovating and serving the global design community.

Industry Partner and sponsorship contributions also enable SEGD to publish the SEGD Awards Annual each year, a showcase of the best in Experience Design from the SEGD Global Design Awards. This partnership extends beyond printed material—generous funding also supported the creation of our Webby Award-winning website, which serves as a hub of knowledge, inspiration, and connection for the global design community.

Hear From Our Industry Partners

We’d like to take a moment to acknowledge some of the voices from our Industry Partners who have been instrumental in our journey. S.K. Rao from Color-Ad, during our SEGD Exhibition + Experience event, shared: “We are privileged to be a Platinum Industry Partner and the Presenting Sponsor for this event. We’ve been associated with this community for more than 20 years and I always felt that we’ve been able to leverage the relationship for mutual benefit.”

Dana Michaelis from Nanolumens echoed this sentiment, adding: “Our Industry Partner sponsorship is all about community. At Nanolumens, design is in our DNA, so it’s on-brand for us to align with the design community through SEGD, and being a sponsor is a great way to amplify our support of and alliance with today’s experiential designers.”

These quotes reflect the true spirit of partnership that lies at the heart of SEGD. Our partners are more than just sponsors—they are champions of design and education, helping us create opportunities for learning, networking, and innovation. We are deeply grateful for their continued support, and we look forward to many more years of collaboration as we continue to shape the future of experience design together.

Thank you to all our Industry Partners, sponsors, and supporters—you make our mission possible!
